Other Pictures

On the left is what I call the media cabinet. Susan gave this to me. I will have to open the doors and take pictures to show how much this really holds. All the CDs and DVDs are in the top. Some of the most frequently accessed ones are in a rack by the tv or in the tv cart. The DVDs are all alphabetized now but the CDs aren't a priority. The picture on the right is from yesterday. This is the corner on the left as you enter the Yarn Room. Underneath the mirror is a 2 drawer cabinet with patterns in it and on top of that is my little one box stereo which has a turntable, radio, CD and tape player. The three pictures are family pictures. The penguin tile was painted for me by my Uncle Bernie.

And finally, some pictures from the Yarn Room! On the left you can see my knitting chair and on the left my computer. Underneath the window just to the left of the knitting chair is some of my yarn storage in cabinets and a few other things like my pink ceramic Christmas Tree. I haven't figured out where to put it so it stays there for now.

For now the Yarn Room is pretty darn organized. It's a big room. To the right of the computer is a 3 drawer cabinet holding all my computer related stuff. And to the right of that is what used to be my little kitchen table but is now my Yarn Room table. One chair is with the table and the other went to the desk in the front entry room. I have pattern books on top of the table, needles, a calendar and underneath I am storing two bins with patterns and my big, big pink tote/knapsack that has binders with frequently used patterns. Altogether this is really well organized. I started putting up a few pictures but I need help to do most of it.

I am going to take some pictures of the attic with everything moved into the sections where they should be. I need to toss stuff and get rid of the bags but that will have to wait. It took me quite a while Friday afternoon just to get things where I wanted them. And after working on the Yarn Room yesterday I am done for a while.

I will, however, take a picture of the mantle in the livingroom above the stove because I finally got that decorated the way I wanted. Can't wait to hang up pictures in my bedroom and the livingroom (and my wonderful clock!) but those need to wait until someone can help me.

But I did finally unload the pictures and I am sharing them here. I am going to put together a CD with all the pictures, good and bad, to take to my brother so he can keep that and we'll show them to my mother. I thought about printing pictures but I think if I want to do that I will wait until I am there and have the CD. At least for now everything is on the computer.

The house is such a wonderful place for me. I am comfortable, relaxed, happy. Susan was right - I DO deserve this. Goes to prove - always listen to your sister!
